SETON HALL AT No. 25 MARQUETTE, tonight at 9

Tall order for the Pirates, who head to Milwaukee without forwards Brandon Mobley (dislocated shoulder; out indefinitely) and Brian Oliver (sprained ankle; should be back for USF Jan. 23). Marquette has played very well—much better than just about anyone forecasted. The Hall is 0-5 there all-time by an average margin of nine points.

This is a longshot, but strange things have been happening in the Big East (see: St. John’s over Notre Dame). One of these games the Pirates are going to light somebody up from deep, but more than likely that will come at home.
